Readiness test dates for 2026

The Education and Training Evaluation Commission announces the dates for the standard tests for graduates of higher education institutions (Readiness).

These standard tests are implemented in accordance with the decision of the Council of University Affairs, which includes the generalization of standard tests aimed at evaluating the outputs of knowledge, skills, and values for graduates in specializations, to measure the quality of operations and outputs through tests implemented by the Education and Training Evaluation Commission.
 

In light of this, the Commission launched the "Readiness" program to enhance the readiness of higher education graduates for the labor market. This program aims to set a specialized framework representing the minimum knowledge, skills, and values for each field of specialization, in cooperation between scientific teams from universities and specialized teams from national authorities and relevant private sector entities, and then build standard tests for graduates based on the specialized framework.
 

The objective of measuring academic program outcomes is to enhance graduates' acquisition of the minimum knowledge, skills, and values (learning outcomes) for each specialization field. It also aims to increase the readiness of university graduates to join the labor market, enhance alignment between academic program outcomes and labor market requirements, contribute to reducing unemployment rates, and increase the GDP to achieve the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
